Study: Low-Fat Diets Better Long-Term
hjackson quoted:
November 15, 2004 Study: Low-Fat Diets Better Long-Term By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The study used the National Weight Control Registry, a decade-old effort to learn the secrets of success from people who had lost at least 30 pounds and kept them off for at least a year. The registry run by doctors from the University of Colorado in Denver, the University of Pittsburgh and Brown University in Providence, R.I. Try going to the registry and look closely at what questions they ask. For a very long time there was no way to tell them you were on a low carb plan. I haven't read their questions for about 2 years, so I don't know if they have repaired that problem now. Because of that, no data from the registry has any validity whatsoever to judge the effectiveness of low carb compared to any other type of plan. Completely irrelevant data. Worthless. |
